geo-, ge- +

Of or relating to agriculture.

1. Cultivating plants in earth.
2. The study or science of agriculture.

The gravity potential of the earth; the sum of its gravitational potential and the potential of its centrifugal force, in which the zero point of energy is defined to be located at sea level.

Pressure beneath the surface of the earth; especially, a pressure of greater than usual strength existing in a subsurface formation; for example, a fluid deposit that is under very high pressure because it bears part of the overburden load.

Simply stated: The pressure within the earth, or formation pressure.

1. Under very high pressure beneath the earth's surface; usually defined as a fluid existing at pressure greater than 0.465 psi for each vertical foot of depth.
2. Describing reservoirs of highly pressurized geothermal fluids trapped underground that offer various energy potentials; such as, hydraulic energy from the high pressure, or thermal energy from the high temperature of the fluids, or natural gas dissolved in the fluid.

1. A reservoir of subsurface saline water existing at very high pressure and offering the potential for geothermal energy.
2. Specifically, a reservoir that is completely saturated with natural gas and, therefore, which can be both a geothermal source and an unconventional gas source.

A male personal name, from Latin Georgius, from Greek Georgios, "husbandman, farmer"; from ge-, "earth" + ergon, "work".

The name introduced in England by the Crusaders (a vision of St. George played a key role in the First Crusade), but not common until after the Hanoverian succession (18th century); so, also Georgian (1855) in reference to the reigns of the first four king Georges (1714-1830).

St. George began to be recognized as patron of England in the time of Edward III, perhaps because of his association with the Order of the Garter.

Like, or pertaining to, agricultural or rustic affairs; rural; agrarian.

The examination, or analysis, of soil.

Another term for an earth quake.

1. Pertaining to the earth and moon.
2. Belonging to the joint action or mutual relations of the earth and moon; as, "geoselenic phenomena".

1. The series of climax formations in an area throughout geological time.
2. A sere as viewed through geologic time periods.

A sere is the series of different communities of plants and animals that occupy a specific site and create a stable system during the process of ecological succession.

1. The physical earth; a term for the solid mass (lithosphere) of the planet, or for the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere as a whole.
2. The solid matter of the earth, as distinct from the seas, plants, animals, and surrounding atmosphere.
3. The soils, sediments, and rock layers of the earth's crust, both continental and beneath the ocean floors.

A reference to the combination of the earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

The pressure of the weight of overburden exerted on a rock formation by movements of the earth.
